The QM5K stands out as a bright mini LED TV with strong black levels and color, delivering a lot of picture quality for the money. The 65 inch model has been called impressive in stores and solid in SDR, with recent firmware updates and built in Google TV features like art screensavers and news overlays. Audio is also described as loud enough for a bedroom without a soundbar. The main tradeoff is refresh rate, since 4K is limited to 60Hz even though 1440p can reach 144Hz, and the brightness can feel intense in dark rooms.
Common Questions (5)
At the reported sale prices, it is described as a strong value with deep blacks, good colors, and performance that can hang with more expensive sets in SDR. Several owners call it a steal or best value, especially around the $330-$380 range for the 55-inch and $449.99 for the 65-inch.
The QM5K is a 60Hz TV for 4K, but it can do 1440p up to 144Hz. If you want 4K at 144Hz, the QM6K is the better pick.
The QM5K is very bright for its class and can feel too bright in a dark room, with some owners turning brightness down to around 30-40%. The QM7K/QM8K/QM9K are considerably brighter, and HDR benefits from the extra headroom.
The built-in audio is reported as loud enough for a bedroom or small space, with volume often staying around 13/100. The speakers are also described as legit, though one concern raised was a previous TV sounding boxy with no low end.
Yes. You can ignore Google TV and use an external streamer like Roku or Apple TV instead, which also avoids the built-in interface if you dislike it.

The brightness is kind of the same way. The higher end TCLs (QM7K/8K/9K) are considerably brighter than this TV. On my QM5Ks, I have the brightness turned down to like 40% (these TVs are like 2-3x brighter than the 5 yr old cheap edge-lit TVs they replaced.) On certain content, it causes my eyes to wince so I'm not sure how folks deal with an even brighter tv. I'm sure it makes HDR content better, but IMO, it looks great on my QM5K (but I'm not super enthusiast.)
